Complete details of Z900 ABS Motorcycle

Launched in India in March 2017.

The Kawasaki Z1000 is considered to be the epitome of premium naked sportsbikes. And the new Z900 is latest addition to the Z segment, which is slotted below the mighty Z1000. Basically, it is just an under powered version of the Z1000, powered by a newly developed 948cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine. The bike is constructed based on the same Trellis Frame made with high tensile steel tube found in all Z ranges.

Kawasaki has used all the Z-Styling elements in this model as well. The fierce, predator like posture found in the Z flagship is also used in this model. This muscular image is the ultimate expression of Sugomi, a design featuring elegant bodywork and minimalist cover in order to draw attention to functional beauty. Seamlessly integrated front cowl, sharp ‘Z’ pattern LED tail light, and the compact, multi-functional LCD instrument console are some of the Z essence incorporated in the Z900.

The Z900 is built in and around with a lightweight chassis on which natural upright seats are used for commanding riding position. The low and tapered seat makes the rider to control and manage the motorcycle with ease on every stop. Flat handlebar is the other attractive feature, which provide ideal leverage for high speed cornering and low speed maneuvering.
